"BREWSTER'S MILLIONS."
Frederic Thompson's Production of
"Brewster's Millions," will be the
Attraction at the City Opera House
March 31st.
'The stage version of Mr. McCut
cheon's book is the co-work of Win
choll Smith and Byron Ongley. It will
be presented here by a New York
Cast.
The story is odd and tells of the of
forts of Montgomery Brewster to
spend a million dollars left him by
his grandfather, within a year, and
preserve complete secrecy regarding
his ultimate object. He is not permit
ted to give or gamble it away, nor is
he permitted to endow any institution
or erect any permanent memorial.
This is made a condition under which
ho inherits a fortune seven times as
vast from an uncle who has conceiv
ed and nourished a bitter hatred for
the grandfather.
Frederic Thompson, the producer,
has furnished a scenical eqiuiplment
for the play which, from all accounts
has proved sensational. The third
act-in the scene aboard the yacht
one of Brewster's money-spending de
vices--there is a marvelous and par
ticularly effective bit of stage craft.
In this scene a storm arises and the
stage settings, the movements of the
waves, the lightning effect, all com
bine to make it a particularly real
istic and interesting stage. effect. The
chief character, that of "Monty" Brew
ster is in the hands of the well-known
and versatile young actor, Louis Nil
son. The heroine will be essayed by
the dainty and talented Katherine
Francis. The other long list of- char
acters will be represented by names
well known on the mimic stage.
Brewster's Millions will be given at
the City Opera House on Tuesday ev
ening, March 31. Tickets go on sale
at the Powe Drug 'Company Friday
morning. Prices 50c, 75c and $1.00.

Itching scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; Eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
halr falls out fast. A little Danderine
t')might-now-any time-will surely
save .our hair.
Get a 25 cent .ho tkT'e of Knowlton's
Danderine from ly drug store or

plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance; an incomparabel gloss and
softness, but what will please you most
will be after just a few weeks' use,
when you will actually see a lot of fine
downy ' ir-new hair--growing all

Washington, ). C., March 22.-Illus
trated lectures on the Southeast as the
ideal place for the homeseeker are be
ing given throughout the North dur
ing the present winter by agents of
the land and industrIal department
of the Southern Railway and afiliat
ed lines. These Iletures have been
condlucted in counties andl vicinities in
which the Southern Railway System
made exhibits at county fairs in '
andl resulted from a desire by the pee
pie to knowv more of the southern
country. The lectures have been very
40plular and -at almost every place the
crowds have filled the halls. One lec
turer rep~orts that in many places in
New York and Pennsylvania every
seat was taken and standing room was
filled, and sometimes many failed to
get into the hall. The views shown
are largely agricultural and horticul
tural, but include scenic, industrial
and city subjects. One of the agents
now has a number of dates nhogd in
New York and Pennsylvania and ar
rangements have just boon completed

NEW PICTURE SHOW.
Opened its Doors Monday Night with
a Large Attendance.
The new picture show, in the Balil
building underneath The Advertiser
office, opened its doors Monday night,
a large crowd coming out to be at the
"housewarming". A special two reel
film and a comic reel were shown and
pleased the crowds.
Mr. A. S. Perry. the manager of the
new picture house, has been working
steadily on the interior of the build
ing for over a month and has succeed
ed in making one of the prettiest little
theatres hereabouts.
During this week a contest is in
progress for the naming of the pic
ture house. Every one buying a ticket
to the show is entitled to suggest a
name and at the end of the week the
most appropriate of these suggestions
will be selected by a committee named
for the purpose. The fortunate one
will be presented with a $5.00 book of
tickets.
Mr. Perry promises to give the very
best show that the patronage will jus
tify.
Federal Prisoner Released.
B. S. Black, the young federal pris
oner who has been in the custody of
the sheriff here for the past five
months, will be released today, one
month ahead of the regular time, this
much having been gained through good
behavior. it will be remembered
that this young man, a native of Lau
rens county, was convicted in the fed
eral court at Greenville of receiving
stolen property. Although the jury
rendered a verdict of guilty, the court
evidently took the view that there
were some very mtiigating circum
stances connected with the case and
gave him a very lenient sentence. His
friends have held out from the first
that hie was more a victim of'circum
stances than anything else and they
have stoutly denied that he was cog
nizant of any wrong doing when ar
rested. The young man has been a
model prisoner, making himself very
useful and companionable around the
jail. The sheriff said yesterday that
while of course, lie rejoiced with the
young man in gaining his liberty again
yet it was with quite a pang of re
gret that he would part w 'i him. He
will return to his work on the rail
road, so it is thought.
Even the Chanticleer.
Clarence was leaving early that
night. The cuckoo had just sounded
the eleventh hour. In the back yard
the family rooster uttered a maudlin
crow. "Clarence," called her father
from an upper window, "will it trouble
you to step around back of the house
and throttle that rooster? lie heard
the door close and 11e thinks it's day
light."

CORN CLUB WORK
WORTHMILLONS
South Entering New Era of Agricul
tural Production, Declares
H. G. Hastings.
Atlanta, Ga.-(Speciai.)-That the
Boys' Corn Club movement means a
'eat deal more to tile Southl thlan
..e average citizen hlas ever dreamed,
is the conclusion presented i an in
teresting interview by H. G. Hastings
of Atlanta, chairman of tile agricul
tural committee of tile Atlanta Chain
ber of Commerce and manager of the
Georgia State Corn Sho0w, wvhich is
presented annually in tile state capi
tol building.
"We are facing," says Mr. Hastings,
"an era of agricultural production such
as the world hlas never before wit
Riessed. Every year since the first
corin club was organized, tile mov's
ment has seen more thlan renmarkable
growth., One year's record hlas be
come insignificant when thlat of tile
next year doubled it; and by thlat, I
mnean thlat many more boys have gone
into tile work and have vastly in
creased results not only by thleir own
efforts, but through inspiration to fa
thlers, brothers and neighlbors until
millions of dollars hlave already been
added to corn production in tile Soutn.
"And yet tis is but a forecast of
whlat is to come. There are now be.
ing organized' as an outgrowth or thme
corn club work, Three and Four-U~rop
Clubs. Tile boys will plant oats and
cowpensi on their former corn acre,
thus diversifying their crops, and re
newing the soil, while a new acre will
be taken for corn cultivation, in some1
sections cotton has been added to tihe
list, on a third acre, and the 1 our
Crop Club boys have already gone to
work.,
"Another outgrowth of the corn club
is 'the Pig Club. Southern boys have
learned ;the truth of the story of tile
unsidtful farmer who sent to a
miore prosperous neighbor to buy a
shoat, The neighbor sold hlim the
ehoat, but with it presented him a
sack of corn. 'You have got tihe
shloat under your arm,' 110 told tile
farmer, 'but I wanlt you to remember
that the hog Ia in the ack."
